Just wondering if anyone from New Jersey was on here. Who their doctor was and where they had their surgery?

Hi, I am from NJ and Dr Strom is my doctor and the surgery was in Mountainside Hospital............wonderful doctor and great hospital.......no complaints here..........

Hey thats great, good for you. I had mine done at Center State in Freehold by Dr Washington, he too was great.

South Jersey here (Cherry Hill/Philly, PA area). Dr. Adam Goldstein out of Voorhees did my band. VERY happy at the results thusfar!

(Have to ask---you're a Giant's fan, aren'tcha?)

hahaha yes I am and I'm guessing if you're from that end of the state you are not???

LOL, no I'm not, but ashamed all the same. Freaking Dallas :-( grrrr..... can you tell the team I follow ?

hahahaha, I would have been happy either way as long as either Philly or Dallas was out of the playoffs. I must admit though I was rooting for Dallas because my brother in law is an Eagle fan and we never root for each other lol

so you were banded about a month before I was, how have you found it to be? Have you had any problems or set backs at all?

I'm doing great thanks! I have lost a total of 48lbs so far (it may be a bit more but haven't been on a scale) but having fun trying to figure what to eat and how much. Gave me a reason to get back into the gym which is nice. I have had 2 fills so far and my next appointment is in Feb, dont know if I will need another fill then or not but looking forward to another weigh in.

Nope, other than waiting three months for a freaking fill LOL!

Honestly, I am thrilled with the results. I can actually tell that I'm losing weight, I feel better and I'm motivated to keep going. I was one of the lucky ones that couldn't even tell I was banded with the exception of a couple of times I was a real bonehead and ate too fast (but that was only recently). I've been very lucky!
